Girls on the Run – Sierras 5K/10K Fun Run

Girls on the Run would like to thank Silver Sage Sports Performance for supporting the 200 participants of the New Balance 5K | 10K Fun Run held in Truckee on June 5th. The 5K race is the culminating event for the Girls on the Run 10-week program. While many of the girls had never run before in their lives prior to this season, all of the girls basked in the accomplishment of completing a 5K run alongside their peers, coaches, running buddies and a community full of support.
Girls on the Run wouldn’t exist without the support and sponsorship of the community. If you would like to learn more about Girls on the Run – Sierras, volunteer as a coach, running buddy or committee volunteer, or to make a donation to support scholarships for area girls, please visit: www.girlontherunsierras.org. You can also follow GOTRS on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/girlsontherunsierras.

  • You've Gotta Be Crazy 10K February 20, 2012
    Amber says we can blame this day on her - the one member of Team Library Dork that wasn't able to make it out to Verdi for the You've Gotta Be Crazy runs. Fortunately, we had the lovely Gretchen taking her place, but it wasn't enough - we had a sufferfest all around. The weather was pretty decent, compared to past years of this event. On the c […]

  • New Northern Nevada Race - The Ruby Mountain Relay February 3, 2012
    This popped up in my email inbox a few days ago, and it looks cool enough that I have to share it. The Ruby Mountain Relay will take place August 3-4, 2012, running from Lamoille Canyon 184 miles to Wells, NV. Similar format to other relay races like Hood to Coast or the Reno/Tahoe Odyssey - 12 runners, 2 vans, 3 legs each. The course starts in Lamoille Cany […]

  • Whole School Foods Running... Wait. January 23, 2012
    Wow, I've been a bad blogger. Three whole weeks without a post. Well, if there's anything to get me to post again, it would be a Team Library Dork trip to NorCal for a race. Last year Chris, Dave and I headed over to Roseville for the Whole Foods Running School Half Marathon. (Need to tighten the name up a little, guys, it's a mouthful.) This […]

  • 2011 Wrap-up December 31, 2011
    End of the year - I guess it's time for a wrap-up post. Weirdly, just like last year, I'm nursing a holiday cold for it. There was good and bad this year. The good mostly came in the spring and summer, and things fell off in the fall. I'll let a chart of my monthly mileage tell the story: That's a total of 1377 miles, and 189 hours (7 day […]

  • Relay Peak (Almost) December 19, 2011
    Despite my lack of recent training, an invite from Chris and Dave to head up towards Mt. Rose for some late-season trail running was more than I could resist today. Unfortunately, in was all of 19 degrees when I left my house. Two minutes away, where we met, Chris's car thermometer read 16 degrees. We were all wondering if we'd brought enough cloth […]
